Southwestern Hamburger with Sweet Guacamole

Method

1. 1

   By hand combine ground beef, green chiles, chili powder, cumin and garlic powder {try to handle the meat as little as possible-just gently mix it together}. Shape the meat into four patties with 3/4 inch thickness. To prevent the center from bulging, create an indention in the middle of the patty. Sprinkle salt and pepper on each side of the burgers.

2. 2

   Heat the grill to high heat and cook to a recommended internal temperature of 160F, flipping once.

3. 3

   For the guacamole mash together the avocado, pineapple, cilantro, lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Put each burger on a bun and top the burger with the sweet guacamole and grilled sweet peppers or poblanos if you like. Other suggested toppings include red onion, tomato, lettuce, cheese or jalapeños.
